I think it is time to go to a mandolin next... and hope I keep my knuckles.

Eric rarely insists on things, but he does insist that I not use my mandolin unsupervised. Same goes for my kitchen blow torch. He either loves me or he is concerned that we do not have sufficient medical and fire insurance to cover me and the house. I'm pretty sure it is that first one. Yeah.

I suspect he is just concerned for the kitties....LOL.
Blow torches and kitty tails do not get along too well together.Always remember.....kitties are all Angels with fur.

!!! BREAD IS DANGEROUS !!!
1.More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.
2.Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.
3.In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations
4.More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.
5.Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average North American eats more bread than that in one month!
6.Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.
7.Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days.
8.Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.
9.Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.
10.Newborn babies can choke on bread.
11.Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 240 degrees Celsius! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.
12.Most bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling
